1 Minnesota Health Care Administrative Simplification Prepared for a meeting of the Oregon Health Policy and Research Administrative Simplification Work Group, March 30, 2010 David K. Haugen, Minnesota Department of Health 1

2 Overview Answer five questions (and provide context and background in the process) 1. State role: What is the state s role in admin simp in MN? Why did state leaders conclude that a state role was necessary? 2. Priorities: Why did MN choose the priorities you did? What do you see as the next priorities? 3. Savings: How did MN measure potential savings from simplification activities? [How detailed are the measures?] 4. Public benefit: Do you expect admin simp savings to flow through to taxpayers and the public? How? 5. Adoption in Oregon: One model -- set deadlines for private sector to develop a standard if not met will result in state imposition of an existing standard? Would it make sense to use MN standard as a fall-back? When will your 5010 uniform guides be ready? Specific lessons, challenges, practical considerations in implementing Minnesota s rules 2

3 MN Administrative Simplification Act (ASA) 1. What is state s role? Why was state role necessary? Part of larger, ongoing health care reforms (ASA passed in 1994) Goals: Reduce health care administrative costs and burdens Improve accuracy and usefulness of administrative data Initial focus: Standard paper claims forms Minnesota Administrative Uniformity Committee (AUC) Voluntary; free to join; stakeholders -- providers, payers, associations, state agencies; open, public process 3

4 MN Administrative Simplification Act (ASA) 1. What is state s role? Why was state role necessary? Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) implements, administers ASA Government -- needs/opportunities for variety of roles Neutral convener, facilitator, catalyst Resources and resource coordinator Technical assistance, staffing, institutional memory Communication, coordination with other states, regional, national efforts Compliance and enforcement 4

5 Recent amendments to the ASA (MN Statutes 62J.536) 2007 Standard, electronic exchange of health care administrative transactions 2008 Compliance and enforcement added Other reinforcing laws: Additional reinforcing e-billing requirements for MN Workers Comp, property-casualty, and auto claims in

6 2007 Amendments to ASA (Minnesota Statues 62J.536) All health care providers and all group purchasers (payers) must exchange 3 administrative transactions electronically Rules for single, common data content and format Eligibility inquiries and responses (1/15/09) Claims (Institutional, Professional, Dental, Pharmacy) (7/15/09) Payment remittance advices (12/15/09) Affects: Nearly 60,000 providers payers Includes national payers licensed or doing business in MN 6

7 2007 law addressed 3 key problem areas 2. Why did MN choose the priorities it did? 1. Many administrative transactions are still paper-based Solution: Require 3 common transactions be exchanged electronically 2. Proliferation of companion guides creates non-standard transactions Solution: Require single, uniform companion guide (single standard data content and format) 3. Many payers are exempt from HIPAA requirements Solution: Requirements for claims, remits apply to non-hipaa covered payers Non-HIPAA covered payers exempted from eligibility requirement because transaction does not meet business needs 7

8 Started with 3 key transactions 2. Why did MN choose the priorities it did? Choices reflect stakeholder input regarding: Key transactions in business cycle Common, high volume, high value transactions (opportunities for impact, savings) Practical (HIPAA adopted standards; familiar transactions; many claims already sent electronically) Other additional transactions are possible in the future 8

9 Uniform companion guide rule making process Commissioner of Health rules for single, uniform companion guides Based on HIPAA, Medicare standards Developed in consultation with MN Administrative Uniformity Committee (AUC) Open, public process Modifications from Medicare by the Commissioner as deemed appropriate Opportunities for public comment Final rules must be adopted at least one year prior to having the force of law 9

11 Periodic updates of rules 1/16/09 -- CMS adopted Version 5010 for HIPAA transactions NCPDP D.0 for pharmacy claims 5010/D.0 in effect January 1, /D.0 may be used prior to 1/01/2012 by mutual agreement between trading partners Level 1 compliance by December 31, 2010 Create, receive 5010, complete internal readiness CMS also adopted ICD-10, effective 10/1/

12 v.5010 MN Companion Guides Rules Development Developed in consultation with AUC Proposed eligibility and claims Guides (rules) Feb. 8, day public comment period over, MDH reviewing comments in consultation with AUC Proposed remittance advice Guides Mar. 1; public comment period through Mar. 30 Final rules expected mid-2010 Provide lead time for CMS 12/31/10 Level I and 1/1/2012 Level 2 compliance 12

13 MN Uniform Companion Guides Implementation and Use Time period Now until adoption of MN v5010 guides (mid-2010) Companion Guides Only the MN v4010 After adoption of MN v5010 guides (mid-2010) to 1/1/2012 Either of the following: MN v41010 MN v5010 (By mutual agreement between trading partners) Starting Jan. 1, 2012 Only the MN v

14 2008: Implementation and Compliance MDH is to assure compliance Statute emphasizes: Voluntary compliance; may provide technical assistance Enforcement is complaint-driven MDH to seek informal resolution of complaints If informal resolution not possible penalties (fines) may be imposed Mitigating factors may be considered in determining any penalties Ability to contest and appeal 14

15 Estimated potential annual cost savings 3. Estimates of potential cost savings? MDH -- very preliminary, conservative, estimates of overall system-wide savings Total MN annual health care spending: More than $40 billion annually Share of total spending due to costs of 3 transactions: 2% ($800 million annually) Possible reduction in annual administrative costs when MN rules fully implemented ( ) At least 7% reduction in costs 7% reduction off $800 million current costs =.07 x $800 million = $56 million projected annual savings, system-wide 15

16 Public benefit 4. Benefits to taxpayers, public? How? Many potential benefits of standard EDI transactions Difficult to quantify amount, flows to taxpayers, public Greater efficiencies, lower back office costs may translate into: Lower insurance premium costs, lower Medicaid costs; Investments that improve patient care and outcomes; Fewer problems for consumers obtaining care, or for claims improperly denied or paid Standard, accurate, administrative EDI is foundational Quality improvement, health care planning Broad benefits for consumers and taxpayers 16

17 Adoption in Oregon 5. Adoption in Oregon? Use of MN? Important considerations: Oregon is committed to health care administrative simplification Will be working with stakeholders to reach goals by a date certain If the deadline is not met, state could specify in advance: a default, or a process by which the state will create single, uniform companion guides (and timeline for implementing). 17

18 Adoption in Oregon 5. Adoption in Oregon? Use of MN? Proposed MN 5010 Guides published, final versions ready by mid-2010 Minnesota Guides vetted through AUC and public comment Public domain and free National recognition MN guides apply to payers nationally, other national audiences aware Minnesota encourages other states to use/adopt Guides 18

19 Some Lessons, Challenges, and Practical Considerations Single, uniform companion guides can be developed through a multi-stakeholder process and implemented in the timeframes given Too early for evaluation of impact, but preliminary indications are positive Enforcement seems appropriately balanced Connectivity and connecting were initially bigger challenges than anticipated 19

20 Some Lessons, Challenges, and Practical Considerations Communication and outreach are important, especially for smaller providers and non-hipaa covered payers Need development lab/parking lot (e.g., SBARs, FAQs, best practices ) Claims attachments, COB, common coding are challenging Need to coordinate with other federal reforms and regulations (federal health reform, 5010, EHR standards for meaningful use) 20

21 Connectivity and connecting Clearinghouses Information needed to make connections sometimes difficult to obtain Sometimes not connecting with other clearinghouses Some charging fees inappropriately Difficulty obtaining information needed to make connections EDI yellow pages needed Minnesota list of payers, survey 21

22 22

23 Outreach, education, technical assistance Variety of experience, familiarity with concepts and requirements, access to resources and assistance MDH providing information, assistance within limited scope, resources Particular needs: Smaller providers Non-HIPAA covered payers (workers compensation, property casualty, and auto) Other industry responses and developments Trade associations and professional organizations Educational forums, vendor displays MN Council of Health Plans arranged for free, web-based tool for submitting claims to Minnesota health plans 23

24 Outreach, education, technical assistance Significant efforts AUC process (over 160 public meetings and teleconferences in 2009) MDH provides AUC with meeting facilities, conference lines, webinar capabilities, staffing, consulting resources Other ongoing MDH communication/tech assistance: two websites, list serve, press releases, industry press, targeted mailings, presentations and meetings, coordination with provider/payer/association organizations MDH responded to over 1500 individual and voice inquiries in

25 Development lab/parking lot Need place, process for non-rule clarifications, elaborations Consensus recommendations, information without the force of law Can be a way to arrive at consensus, test in practice before subsequently adopting as a rule Examples: Best practices, FAQs, coding clarification grid 25

26 26

27 Claims Attachments Minnesota law does not require electronic claims attachments (claims must be electronic) No national HIPAA standard Especially an issue with workers compensation claims Instructions in Guide (rule) for submitting attachments Populate PWK segment, provide unique control no. Best practice (elaboration) and standard cover sheet for faxed attachments 27

28 Coordination of benefits (COB) Submit CAS segment information from previous payer s remittance advice If no previous compliant electronic remittance, submit using PWK segment and forward the paper remittance advice Per attachment instructions (previous slide) MN Guides do not apply to payer to payer transactions However, best practice outlines payer to payer recommendation 28

29 Common coding Determining what Medicare requirements are Requirements, recommendations when Medicare does not apply E.g. pediatrics, services not covered by Medicare Service delivery innovations Baskets of care, new types of services (comprehensive treatments for substance abuse, eating disorders, others) 29

30 MN near-term work plan Complete v5010/d.0 implementation Plan for federal legislation Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Meaningful use incentives and Electronic Health Record (EHR) standards Possible development of Minnesota Uniform Companion Guides for Acknowledgments Studies, development projects mandated by law 30
